BMO elite is the only personal card other than Amex that offers lounge access, it comes in the form of a free basic priority pass and it gives your first 3 visits free per year. $150 fee though. 1.9% return and good insurance.

Diners club had it but they don't offer personal card anymore, only corporate.

Thanks HL....... BMO or Diners Club are actually both good options. Diners club is a bit cheaper and Im ok to register under my personal corp.halflife150 wrote: ↑BMO elite is the only personal card other than Amex that offers lounge access, it comes in the form of a free basic priority pass and it gives your first 3 visits free per year. $150 fee though. 1.9% return and good insurance.

Still can't believe Diners is not offering personal cards. They were taken over by BMO over 2 years ago and have yet to put it out. Although, under Diners Club, access was around $27USD I think per visit.halflife150 wrote: ↑Diners club had it but they don't offer personal card anymore, only corporate.

Yes and Yes. If you have the referral link you will receive an additional 10000 sign up bonus to a total of 60000

Was hit and miss, some lounges required fees and some were completely free for holders. Was an alright card if looking for lounges, but other than that I think is now trumped by Aspire. I think the BMO Elite was basically the replacement for the Diners club since it is somewhat similar. I think personal diners club is dead for good.boyoflondon wrote: ↑Still can't believe Diners is not offering personal cards. They were taken over by BMO over 2 years ago and have yet to put it out.

I could be wrong and you could always try, but I doubt they give corporate cards to small personal corps. I was thinking it was more for large corporate clients. Give them a call and ask, report back what they say.burrows wrote: ↑Thanks HL....... BMO or Diners Club are actually both good options.

Does anyone know if a corporation credit check is associated with a personal credit check if I own the corporation? I dont want to do too many checks on my credit check because i just got a new mastercard recently.

It should be noted that this increased bonus requires $3k spending vs the standard 50k MR / $1k spend in 3 months.ilovetravel wrote: ↑Yes and Yes. If you have the referral link you will receive an additional 10000 sign up bonus to a total of 60000

Thanks! I didnt know that. I actually have a TD first class visa as my main card. Do you know if I can access the lounge at YVR? thats where I would mainly go.beaulieu22 wrote: ↑TD First Class has some lounges around Canada. The card cost 120$, but if you open a Select Service account with a minimum balance of 5000$, the card is free!
You can look at it as an investment return of 2.4% + a bunch of perks from the SS account and the credit card!

You could check. I know they have a really cool one in Montreal. It use to be National Bank and they switched it to TD recently. Ask the airport!

Referral link only gets you extra 10k MR points. The $200 voucher is a yearly benefit open to all cardholders.
Really? I've never heard of that, nor is there any indication on TD site or Infinite site about that benefit. Care to explain how it works, figure that would be an important benefit that they should advertise if true.beaulieu22 wrote: ↑TD First Class has some lounges around Canada.

In addition to the TD First Class Infinite card, it seems you can add on the Priority Pass for a fee
